Quiz: Do you know how far north or south these world cities are?

Maps are funny things. They can influence people greatly by emphasising or diminishing the size and placement of countries.

One of the most popular explorations of this phenomenon was an episode of The West Wing (season 2, episode 16), which compared various projections.

When looking at maps of the world we also sometimes lose sight of relative locations - so how well does your knowledge of world cities, particularly their latitude, fare?

Do you know which cities are further north and south?
